Sermon Series - A Community Called by God: Through the season of Easter (and a bit beyond), Jack and Marilyn will explore what it means to be a congregation, a community called by God. The text for this sermon series will be Paul's first letter to the church at Corinth. What can we learn about God's will for First United Methodist Church in Independence by reading mail meant for another congregation? You are invited to worship with this congregation during Eastertide and to make I Corinthians the subject of prayerful reading.
